I was just trying to make a point. Guys go to briefings and listen to doorkickers, civil affair, operators, logistics, military police, state department, etc, and each one uses a different acronym and no one knows what the hell the other one is talking about. Sometimes the guy speaking the acronym doesn't even know what it stands for.

[D-gin]

NWM......Settled in PM's.

[Death.]

Where the hell did that come from, Clean? I was just answering your question, You asked and I answered it's that simple.

And I don't play damn airsoft!
